Hi. As there's some questions about arma 2,3 and dayz going around the battlelog i thought id just make a thread in here instead.

First DayZ was a mod for arma 2 operation arrowhead. now its a standalone version that does not need arma 2 to be played.

DayZ Standalone is available in steam for about 20£/220:-

Arma 3 is the next game in the arma series and has nothing to do with DayZ standalone BUT there are aliens who have Arma 3 and play it

Arma 3 is a Military simulator that supports many different gamemodes. its pretty much as close to war as you want to get..

DayZ is a survival game where you have to loot buildings to find food, water, clothes and weapons. there are zombies roaming the vast map that is as large as skåne(southern part of sweden) the map is MASSIVE, it dwarfs any battlefield map out there.

to sum it up:

DayZ MOD is outdated

DayZ Standalone is in pre-alpha at the moment but can be purchased and played in steam

Arma 3 is the next installment in the arma series and is also available in steam, but it costs more than DayZ Standalone (about 40£)

more thoughts and warnings on Dayz

Dayz is ALOT slower than any battlefield games. your soldier is clunky, he gets tired, he gets out of breath and wont aim as well as he would if he was rested.there's no friend or foe tags, be carefull not to shoot your buddy or mistake an enemy for your buddy. 90% of the time stranges WILL axe you in the face to get that can of beans you just found. anyone who is not in teamspeak with you must be considered an enemy that is out to get you.

to sum this up: shits hardcore yo
